Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was......: © Wayne Hart Another seriously slow week in the bay as far as waves go.

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: Lines old and new: The Voting Line on the Donkin Reserve is on of my favorite art pieces forming part of Route 67.

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: A selfie while walking in the Sardinia Bay Nature Reserve: After a morning of mowing the law and doing some things around the house I headed out for a spot of Geocaching this afternoon. Rather than just doing a few park and grab caches, I opted to go for a walk in the Sardinia Bay Nature Reserve and pick up a series of 12 caches that I've been wanting to do for a while now. The caches in question aren't on the regular … [Read more...] about A selfie while walking in the Sardinia Bay Nature Reserve – Featured Blog
Blood donation #65 – Featured Blog
Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: Blood donation #65: This is a public service announcement... of some sort. The need for blood is real and at any time the blood bank only has a few days worth of blood in stock. It shouldn't be necessary for special appeals to go out every time the holidays come round or something happens where somebody needs blood urgently. All of us who are able to donate blood should be doing so on a regular basis which means at … [Read more...] about Blood donation #65 – Featured Blog
There is no end to the adventures we can have – Featured Blog
Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: There is no end to the adventures we can have: On a game drive at Mount Camdeboo Game Reserve near Graaff-Reinet recently we stopped to watch a couple of Gemsbok on the side of a hill. Strangely enough my attention wandered from the antelope to the road in front of us and I snapped this picture.

The perfect Karoo sunset – Featured Blog
Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The perfect Karoo sunset: Take the big sky of the Eastern Cape's Karoo Heartland, add some rain the previous night, a few distant mountains, an old building, a thorn tree and throw in a sunset for good measure. What do you get? This, as observed while on a game drive at Mount Camdeboo Game Reserve outside Graaff-Reinet recently. All I still needed was a windpomp in the picture somewhere.

The road took us right into the mountains on the reserve and how can one not prefer this over the busy rush of city traffic?
